Nope, the 5-6 minutes is your max unless you do what Jack said. But if you are able to bring along your computer you dont have to turn off the truck to download the files. You can just unplug it from the truck and save the file to your computer then plug it back into the truck without stopping or killing the engine. I do remember Bill telling me a while back that a feature to connect a computer through the programmer was on his list of future projects.
Since you will be focusing on the viscosity and warmup time/temps you can start recording just before you crank the engine then let it record until the 5 mins are up, that way you will always have your zero baseline and can easily plot the trends for comparison. Just dont forget to record outside temp/humidity when you are doing the tests (you could use IAT temp as one of your PIDs).
